Abstract

In this paper, the microcosmic data of ‘China Family Panel Studies (CFPS)’ are used to analyze the impacts of gender, marriage and childbearing, occupational heterogeneity and credit constraints on adults’ participation in continuing education. The study finds that both marriage and childbearing have a negative but not remarkable impact on the female labor force’s participation in adult continuing education; occupational heterogeneity has a remarkable impact on adults’ participation in continuing education; relaxing credit constraints can be conducive for adults’ participation in continuing education. From the perspective of control variables, the higher the education level of the labor force, the more willing they’d like to take continuing education; there are more urban labor force to take continuing education when compared to rural labor force, and which region/area (East/Central/West) the labor force are from doesn’t have any remarkable impact on their participation in continuing education.
